The athlete who says that something can't be done should never interrupt the one who's doing it
John WoodenSuccess is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.
John WoodenWhen you give total effort - everything you have - the score can never make you a loser. And when you do less, it can't somehow magically turn you into a winner.
John WoodenThe goal in life is the same as in basketball: make the effort to do the best you are capable of doing--in marriage, at your job, in the community, for your country. Make the effort to contribute in whatever way you can. You may do it materially or with time, ideas, or work. Making the effort to contribute is what counts. The effort is what counts in everything.
